The linen was dirty with black spots and smudges. The bed appeared as if someone got up and did not rearrange the sheets so it looked presentable. The bathroom mirror was dirty and little table in the room was old with many starches and fingers prints as if someone had eaten at the table and did not clean it. I called the lobby on entering the room, the receptionist said she would send up clean sheets that did not arrive. She said the driver would take them to me and inspect the room which he never did. The room look dirty and felt unsanitary. I did not touch anything. We called Expedia who wants a report from the manager. The drive who did not check the room said the room was ok and I was not entitled to a refund. My next question to Expedia do you think it is proper to accept and sleep in such accommodation. If the customer says the room is not up to standard why would you question me since I was willing to book at comfort Inn. Pictures on line looks great not what I expected. I am still waiting for Expida to address this problem and give me a refund.

I know there's not much you can do about how people behave on Spenard, so I'm just going to talk about the Inn itself. The room was small but serviceable. The bed was fine, and the internet was fantastic. The shower, however, was a deal-breaker. I don't know if all the showers are like this, but mine was designed to only give hot OR cold water. You got all or nothing. I had no idea they even made showers like that in the last 50 years. It was clean, but my only choices were scalding water or freezing water.

Not anything like the photos!!

Check in was easy at the front desk. The lobby area looks like the photos. But Our Hotel room looked NOTHING like the photos. It was in an annex building not attached to the hotel. The heater was broken, the window was open and it was very apparent that someone had been climbing in through the window and using the phone. the chair pulled from across the room to the phone. There were no elevators, there was a homeless tent set up just below the steps going up to our room. The bathtub had black mold all around the edges. The room that we were given was HORRIBLE!!!! The worst room i've booked , ever. I would not suggest this place at all.
